Oxidative Treatment for Reducing Persistent Populations of Escherichia coli Under Amoxicillin and Gentamicin Pressure

Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) with methylene blue and 660 nm LED enhances antibiotic killing of bacteria, accelerating time‐kill kinetics and reducing the MDK99 compared to antibiotics alone. SEM confirms effective cellular damage, demonstrating that PDI potentiates amoxicillin and gentamicin against tolerant bacterial populations. ABSTRACT Bacterial

Calcium Dobesilate Interference in Two Urinary Total Protein Detection Methods

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 5, March 2026.
Graphical abstract illustrating the interference of calcium dobesilate in two urinary total protein detection methods. Urine calcium dobesilate concentrations were measured by LC‐MS/MS. The pyrogallol red‐molybdate method showed no significant interference, whereas the benzethonium chloride method exhibited significant interference.

Establishment of Reference Intervals for Plasma TSH Across the Lifespan in an Algerian Mediterranean Population

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 6, March 2026.
This study establishes the first age‐specific reference intervals for plasma thyroid‐stimulating hormone (TSH) in an Algerian Mediterranean population using the Mindray CL‐900i platform. Analysis of 2893 healthy individuals revealed a strong age dependency of TSH values, with highest levels in neonates and mild elevation in older adults, while sex ...
